Introduction: I offer one-on-one tutoring in a variety of math subjects. I have 10 years teaching and tutoring experience and I'm certified to teach both MS and HS. The results that can be seen in as few as 5 sessions speaks volumes as to what your child can accomplish in school, as well as my ability to educate and instill academic confidence. Seeing the 'A' on a student's test when he/she only thought they could achieve middle-to-low marks because it's 'just not their subject'.

Aaron started working with our son over a year ago and it's been a great experience for the whole family. I first reached out to Aaron because I wanted him to help with my 12yrs old son in Math. My son has always been an A or B student but Math has always been his weakness. Math has never been my strength either so his dad has been tutoring him as needed. As the math coursework got harder, I saw how frustrating it was for my husband to tutor my son. I also saw how deflating my son felt when dad was trying to drill into his head the new concepts. I knew the relationship was not helping either of them and I need to seek outside help and quick. When we first met Aaron, I knew it was going to be a good fit. Not just for us but also for my son. I knew that for a teenager to enjoy being tutored, I had to to find a tutor that was well qualified but also someone that can connect and build trust with my son. Aaron was able to instantly connect with my teenager on a level that my husband and I could not reach. He's able to teach my son new concepts, keep him engaged and he can do it while still making my son laugh and smile. We've been with Aaron for over a year now and my teenager still does not complain when he has to go see Aaron every week. It's like the ONE thing that he does not complain. Anyone with teenagers know that they like to complain about a lot of random things but he never gives any fuss about Aaron....EVER. He doesn't complain about the weekly tutoring sessions because he's learning, having fun and he sees the difference it has made for him in math. Math was always his weakness but now it's his strength. For the last year, my husband and I have not had to work with my son on his 7-8th grade math at all. We are completely hands free when it comes to my son's math class and he is able to maintain a 95-97% in Math without any help from us. I credit all of this to Aaron. When we saw that Aaron was making great process with my son and he was earning an easy A in Math at school, we tasked Aaron with challenging my son and pushing him even more. We wanted Aaron to teach my son the next math level up, Algebra 1. We wanted to ensure that going into high school next year, that my son would be well prepared for Alegbra 1. I asked Aaron to tutor my son in both Math 8 and Algebra 1 and I left it up to Aaron and my son to figure out the balance between the two. I am confident that with Aaron's help this year, Algebra 1 should be a breeze for my son next year. Our plan for next year is for Aaron to tutor our son in Geometry and review Algebra 1 as needed. This game plan will allow my son to always be 6-12months ahead of his Math class at school. I really can't say enough about Aaron. I love his weekly updates on my son's progress but most importantly, I love that my son is excelling in his math class and has fun at the same time. I love having the security of knowing that my son is always going to be a few steps ahead of his math coursework at school. I love it that my son knows that Aaron is also his champion in Math and that Aaron is there to help. That kind of security for my son is priceless.

My son, Theo, was failing 8th Grade Math and was tutored by Aaron, with the fantastic result of going from a grade of 40 to a 90 within 6 months. Aaron's tutoring techniques and excellent bedside manner really helped Theo to learn the material and succeed, where school tutorials and other special education services had failed him. Thanks to Aaron's excellent tutoring program, Theo became confident in his Math abilities and passed the STAAR test and his Math class with ease! Theo was struggling to manage his ADHD and Asperger's Syndrome symptoms, and we were on the fence about whether the cost of private tutoring was worth the investment, but one look at Theo's changed (to positive) attitude and improved Math skills proved to us that Aaron's program was well worth it.

Aaron tutored our daughter in Pre-AP Geometry. She was struggling the first semester to the point of wanting to drop the class. We looked to the school for tutor assistance with no real results. Then we found Tutor by Design. After the first session, everything just started clicking and she turned her grade from failing to a B for the year. Each six weeks her knowledge and confidence improved. Aaron would have the class lessons ready for her by viewing the teacher's website. No time was wasted during their sessions. He was always prepared and answered any questions she had. He was accommodating to our schedules and was attentive to her way of learning. We definitely recommend Tutor by Design and wouldn't hesitate to use his services again in the future.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Yes. There is a different pricing system for separate tutoring sessions as well as for longer-term tutor plans for the academic year. Details are listed under 'price list' on the company website.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
A free session is provided in order to give both the tutor as well as the student and parent(s) an opportunity to meet one another and review the curriculum at hand. A decision can be made after the introductory session or later on. A contract [usually with a semester-by-semester commitment] is required to sign upon beginning of tutorial services.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have worked as a teacher in both SE Asia as well as S. America. I have experience living within multiple cultures, languages, and have a solid basis in the teaching of middle and high school math and science. I now want to utilize these skills and experience to provide excellent one-on-one tutoring for students who want to further succeed in the TX school system.
